<h1>Roassal Easel</h1>

<p>Roassal offers an interactive script editor to incrementally prototype visualizations. Write a script, and generate the visualization (press Cmd/Alt - S on Pharo; press 'Generate' on VisualWorks). Use the examples of the easel to explore the different facet of the framework.  The Pharo and VisualWorks versions have little differences which will be explained below.</p>

<h2>For the VisualWorks platform</h2>

<p>The Easel is accessible from the Tools menu or the icon bar tool in the launcher.  As it can be seen in the picture, the visualization is displayed in the left-hand side and the script editor in the right-hand side. After editing, to see your changes, just click in "Generate view".</p>

<h2>For the Pharo platform</h2>

<p>The World menu, accessible by left-clicking on the background, offers an item for launching the Easel. The easel is composed of two windows, the one on the left-hand side contains the visualization and the one in the right hand a workspace containing the script to be executed. By accepting (Cmd-S, Alt-S) in the editor, the changes will be displayed in the visualization window.</p>
